Before PowerShell, @steviecoaster.dev was a point-and-click admin. After #PowerShell, he's automation-first and helps others find that same spark.

This week's pod dives deep into mentorship, growth, and how learning PowerShell WILL transform your career.

I understand that the training video is a scenario about how to watch out for antitrust and not violate ethics.

If I didn't have that knowledge, though, the video is about how two guys met at a conference bar and hooked up.

All I can say is "You don't have to be ashamed UNNAMED CRIMINAL #1!!"

Update:
We're on the final day of holidays today; checking out later and catching a flight. I'm only on book 6.

I either have to a). Finish this and another book by the end of the day, or b). Lie and say I did if she asks...

Stage 3
Foiled

The bookstore here is closed on the weekends

Worse, I've finished 2 of my books
Dialann Emily Porter: An Jailtacht by @richieconroy.bsky.social
Anji Kills a King by @bookreviewskill.bsky.social

I'd recommend both, too!

Does a magazine count? To be fair she likes to skim, then read, then write out stuff she likes from them

Stage 2
Foiled

There was a WH Smith at the gate, but more confectionary than books 😢

I convinced her to bring 2 (a 200% increase)
She opened one beside me now while waiting and promptly fell asleep

Actually, I do have Feedly with a 3 month backlog of blogs to read 🤔

Eh...I should really get one of those...
I just love the tactile nature of books. Although space for books is getting to be an issue

Stage 1
Foiled

She finished buying toiletries before I could find a book I wanted in arrivals

Heading to the airport for a week-long holiday.

Gf is "celebrating" that she talked me down to only bringing 7 books.

When do I tell her that I intend to buy books in the airport and at the destination?
